RFS: Dark Voices

This week, due to a snafu with the interview files I had recorded for the Satanic Witch series, I had to put out an episode I had planned to put out after the Satanic Witch series was finished. I hope you enjoy this episode instead!

In this episode, I talk with owner and operator of Temple of Flesh; the BDSM event where I DJ as DJ Lyra Shae often. This episode focuses more on BDSM rather than Satanism because I wanted to get our listeners  educated on the scene. This interview is jam packed with information for beginners, intermediates, and those who are into advanced play like edge play. We talk about a whole host of topics including the effect of the introduction of the 50 Shades of Gray book series on the scene, what it’s like to run a BDSM Dungeon, BDSM relationships vs. vanilla relationships, and much, much more. Steve is hilarious and incredibly insightful. This is one episode not to be missed! All of the music in this episode was hand-picked and DJ’d by me. Steve Shields’s personal bio and picture can be found below:

“I am an openly Bi-sexual male. I am married to a women and live in a open relationship. I personally hate labels but in my BDSM and Sexual life I work best when I am in control. So most people call that a TOP / Master / Dom / Daddy / Sir..etc, but I am happy to just be called Steve. When someone gives me control to play them the dynamic is known from that point forward. I started my exploration into BDSM around the age of 16 although I did not know it had a label at that time, to me it was just kinky. I explored on my own until the early 1990s when I found regular partners with the same interests. I gained a small underground reputation for my personal activity and that led to starting Temple of Flesh production company.

Established in 1996, Temple of Flesh is the longest running Fetish Production Company in the state of Texas. Temple of Flesh has produced and/or performed in Fetish Production in the following cities: (San Antonio, Dallas, Houston, Austin, New York City, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Chicago, St Louis) Temple of Flesh was also the first to bring London’s #1 Fetish Club producers “Torture Garden” to the united states in 1997. Currently Temple of Flesh produces The San Antonio Fetish Balls. Temple of Flesh also runs a “Members only” fetish underground club called “TEMPLE” in San Antonio, TX.

Over time I have had the privilege to meet so many wonderful people from all the events I have produced and I was only able to do so many events because of the wonderful people I know. A hobby besides producing fetish events is photography, I have had such fun taking photos of friends and lovers. I am not that good at it, but I keep trying.

I continue to learn more about BDSM every day it ebb and flows and is always changing and always has new developments, but the exchange of control and the trust you need for that is a constant.”
